XLR/RCA dilemma


With 5-series Ayre components, the idea of running balanced from disc player through preamp to amp is appealing, but it doesn't provide for bass management.  At the cost of interrupting that balanced link, I can add a bass manager that high-passes to a pair of KEF LS50s, a move claimed to improve their sound.  Is that likely to be a worthwhile tradeoff?

I would Scrap the Velodyne and get a REL 10". I have 2 Velodynes on other systems in the house still, and the REL hooked directly to the speaker terminals with their proprietary direct speaker wire connections to the terminals not in use from my McIntosh Mc452 is so much better in every way makes me hate any Velodyne, EXCEPT the Mini V 8 inch, that thing is not bad at all. Just check out a REL, it's out of this world! https://rel.net/shop/subwoofers/serie-ti/t9i/  Get one for a deal in a day with overnight shipping here: at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/REL-Acoustics-T-9i-Subwoofer-Lightweight/dp/B01ICA01U8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electroni... for the money, you cannot beat IMHO.
